Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 1-Hour First Aid and CPR course?

FA1 is an online workplace emergency-awareness course introducing medical-emergency recognition, activating emergency response, first-aid concepts, CPR and choking awareness, bleeding, burns, shock, and universal precautions.

Who should take this course?

It is intended for construction and trade workers seeking basic workplace first-aid and CPR awareness. Confirm employer, SST, and recognized first-aid or CPR certification requirements separately.

Is this course offered online?

How long is the course?

The course is described as one hour. Confirm current attendance, identity verification, online technology, and completion requirements with IDI.

Does this course provide CPR certification?

The supplied page does not identify a recognized CPR-certification credential or hands-on skills test. Confirm directly with IDI; use an approved hands-on certification course when required.

Does online awareness training replace hands-on practice?

No. CPR, AED, choking response, and first-aid competence generally benefit from instructor-supervised practice and skills evaluation. Follow employer and certifying-organization requirements.

What medical emergencies are discussed?

Topics include unresponsiveness, breathing emergencies, cardiac arrest, choking, severe bleeding, shock, burns, fractures, and other workplace injuries at an introductory awareness level.

What should happen first in a serious emergency?

Protect yourself from hazards, activate the site emergency plan, contact emergency services promptly, obtain trained help and an AED when applicable, and provide care only within your training.

Are CPR and cardiac-arrest response covered?

Yes, at an introductory awareness level. Current CPR technique, hands-on practice, AED use, and certification should be learned through an appropriate recognized training program when required.

Is choking response included?

Yes, choking recognition and response awareness are included. Age, condition, responsiveness, and current training protocols affect the correct response; obtain qualified instruction and emergency help.

Does the course cover bleeding and shock?

Yes. It introduces bleeding-control and shock-awareness concepts, including scene safety, protective barriers, emergency activation, appropriate pressure concepts, monitoring, and prompt professional care.

Are burns and fractures discussed?

Yes, at an introductory level. Avoid actions beyond training, protect from continuing hazards, activate emergency response when appropriate, and follow current first-aid protocols.

What are universal precautions?

They are practices that treat blood and certain body fluids as potentially infectious, emphasizing barriers, hand hygiene, exposure prevention, safe cleanup, reporting, and employer procedures.

Does completing the course automatically provide SST credit?

The page states that it counts as one hour of General Elective SST credit. Acceptance depends on current NYC DOB rules, course approval, eligibility, delivery, and documentation.

How long is completion valid?

The page states five years unless otherwise specified by NYC DOB. This is separate from any first-aid or CPR certification period; verify each requirement independently.

What is the price and how can I register?

The supplied page lists $399. Contact IDI to confirm price, SST approval, whether any credential is issued, hands-on requirements, inclusions, schedule, and availability.
